I don't know what has been happening, but I purchased a rear projection TV in 2005, and I feel that the image quality on all the TV's I've seen since then have declined, and done so terribly. I believe some of it has to do with the sets simply not having sufficient processing power and processing quality to make proper use of their 1080p resolution. Maybe the plunge in profitability for the whole market has led manufacturers to skimp on quality over adding features.
In general, only a few large displays of any technology seem to me to represent a significant advance in picture quality over the last 3 odd years, and those are the Panasonic and Pioneer plasmas.
the blacks and whites on the diamond or just as good as plasmas.i tend to favor the diamond because you don't have to worry about reflections.which keeps me from buying a plasma other than price(58" over $3500)
i agree with you, the review is pretty crap on most counts. this set is better than last years even. the diamond is the way to go . the 73 inch 73835 diamond can be has for as low as $3000 online. im just holding out til next year anyways because im going to be too busy to even have time to watch much tv or play any video games. But laservue is my main interest. Im just going to wait for the 2nd gen version for 240hz and hope they can get 5:5 cadence plus its using real D hardware in laser for 3d. Im going to use i for my next pc monitor.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
